Death by Chocolate
This sounded so damned wonderful that I had to share it--from NPR's web
page--
============
Serendipity 3 Frrrozen Hot Chocolate
6 half-ounce pieces of a variety of your favorite chocolates
2 teaspoons of store-bought hot chocolate mix
1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
1 1/2 cups of milk
3 cups of ice
Whipped cream
Chocolate shavings
Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the top of a double
boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted. Add the
hot chocolate mix and sugar, stirring constantly until thoroughly
blended. Remove from heat and slowly add 1/2 cup of the milk and stir
until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
In a blender place the remaining cup of milk, the room temperature
chocolate mixture, and the ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and the
consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Pour into a giant goblet and top with
whipped cream and chocolate shaving.
